The Kalimar SR 200 was the first film SLR I ever owned. Still have it and the body light meter still works. A good all manual camera made in Russia before the break-up. It came with a manual 50 mm lens.

Make sure to test it, so you can properly disclose what works and doesn't work on the camera, as well as the condition of the lens.

The helios 44-2 is a M42 mount 58mm f/2 ranging in price from $20-60
It's a relatively sharp lens and works well on mirrorless cameras.
Here are some shots on various m4/3 cameras

Camera is a re-badged zenit e. A bear of a camera.
I have two. One is passable and one is a dog. Quality control was not a strong point in a lot of russain make. Helios lens tend to be very good. Good colour rendition and can be very sharp. The preset one tended to be the best. I have a number of helios that I use on other m42 screwmount cameras. They can also be used on a dslr with an adapter fitted. All manual, but I like that.
